2014 BMW X3 xDrive28i

This 2014 BMW X3 is identified by the VIN decode as an X3 xDrive28i sport utility vehicle with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an approximately 241-horsepower rating. The vehicle was manufactured in Greer, South Carolina. The auction record lists a salvage certificate of title and “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the stated front-end claim; however, the salvage-certificate title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The most significant visible damage is concentrated at the front left. The left front fender is severely creased and crushed around the wheel arch and front-door edge. The left section of the hood is buckled, with raised and irregular edges. The left-front bumper cover is cracked and distorted, and its lower black section is hanging away from the bumper with components exposed underneath. A separate lower bumper trim section is also detached and protruding downward. Additional body damage is visible at both rear corners. The left-rear quarter panel has a broad dent and creasing around the wheel arch and fuel-door area, while the left-rear bumper has dark abrasion marks and surface scuffing. The outer right-rear bumper edge has an open gap, a dark exposed area, and a separated edge section. The driver steering-wheel airbag and the driver knee airbag are visibly deployed. The instrument cluster shows ABS, brake, restraint-system, and check-engine warning indicators. It also displays a “Left low beam malfunction” warning. The photographs do not establish the cause or extent of any underlying mechanical, structural, braking, restraint-system, or electrical faults. A complete inspection should include the front structure, suspension and steering components, braking system, airbag and pretensioner systems, wiring, headlamp system, and diagnostic fault memory before repair or road use. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to this vehicle configuration, including recalls involving the child-seat lower anchors, brake-assist vacuum-pump operation, the driver-front airbag inflator, and the electric water-pump connector. Recall completion status is not provided and should be verified with BMW or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
